AstraZeneca Access 360
The Access 360 program is designed to streamline access to the company’s drugs. Access 360 provides patients and providers with affordability and reimbursement support in obtaining their medications.
The Access 360 program provides:
- Assistance with understanding patient insurance coverage and pharmacy options
- Prior authorization support
- Claims and appeal process support.
A Provider Portal is available online. AstraZeneca also offers patient copay savings programs for many of its drugs for eligible commercially insured patients whose insurance does not cover the full cost of their prescriptions.
AstraZeneca Access 360 specialists can help patients with commercial insurance to access drug-specific patient support programs by identifying the patient’s prescription insurance coverage, out-of-pocket costs, and pharmacy options; and by providing support with prior authorization, insurance denials and appeals, pharmacy coordination, reimbursement, referrals to patient savings and patient assistance programs, and connections to nurse assistance or educational support programs.
